“Disappointment” is relative, I guess, when it comes to RuPaul’s Drag Race. Sure, there are going to be people with hackles raised over last night’s finale of All Stars 3 (if not for the chosen winner then for the inexplicable way the show was labeled RuPaul’s All Stars Drag Race and thus missed by many a person’s DVR — your…

Black Lightning star Nafessa Williams has said that the creation and support of black superheroes in Hollywood has resulted in an exciting “wave” of representation that is only just getting started. The star, who plays lesbian black superhero and daughter of Black Lightning Thunder, said that there has been a seismic shift towards black representation onscreen…

The biggest different between Queer Eye and its original, it’s there’s no ‘For The Straight Guy’ anymore. This was explored in the Netflix reboot’s stand-out episode, when the Fab 5 helped AJ who struggled with coming out to his step-mom. In an exclusive interview with Gay Star News, one of the Fab 5 is hoping…

After last week’s shenanigans and a few lackluster challenges, RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars finally gave us a challenge that felt like better times. It was the kind of deeply silly sketch that clearly reflects Ru’s personal humor and sensibilities, and — alongside a pretty straightforward runway theme — it allowed the girls to showcase exactly what they’ve got. A…

I may have griped about last week’s episode of RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars due to its weak challenge and disappointing runway, but I actually may have enjoyed this week’s episode less. It’s not that the challenge — the kind of cheesy group performance we’ve grown accustomed to — was particularly bad. It’s all the drama that really…

You’d think an episode dedicated to Andy Warhol’s legacy would inspire a bit more creativity than what we saw last night on RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars. Instead, we’re treated to some of the series’ weakest challenges and lackluster judging. It all starts with Ru busting into the workroom in his Warhol fright wig to introduce…

With all the shady mirror messages and getting “cracked” going on, you’d think all these queens would be heading toward seven years bad luck. That certainly seems to be the case for a few of the girls coming out of this RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars edition of Snatch Game. Drama on stage and off fueled an…

TBS just landed a pilot for a brand-new comedy series about a queer black girl. From Lena Waithe, who won an Emmy for her groundbreaking writing on Master of None last year, the series is titled Twenties. It follows Hattie, a queer black girl, and her two straight best friends, Marie and Nia. Together, they chase their…

Finally, RuPaul’s Drag Race gave us the queer dating reality competition we’ve been waiting for. It’s got everything: A hot bachelor, insane contestants, tacky sets and plenty of drama. Let me also say that I would watch 10 seasons of The Bitchelor over one more second of Finding Prince Charming. (Though if/when that show comes back, you best believe I’ll be…

We all know that old drag proverb: Those who don’t learn from the past are doomed to repeat it. That couldn’t be more true on this week’s RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars. Not only were the queens tasked with recreating the classic VH1’s Divas Live special, but they also had to give another go at one of the…

We were delighted when it was announced we’d be getting a black lesbian superhero. Now the actress who plays her has spoken some more about the character. Nafessa Williams plays Anissa Pierce. The show premiered 16 January. By the end of the first episode, the viewer finds out Anissa is a lesbian. Williams explained in an…
